Experiencing God

We believe that with God, nothing is impossible, we expect God to do great things in our lives and through our church. We're willing participants with God in a "co-mission" to reach our community and world with the message of His love. We value the responsibility to help each person discover their "Purpose In Life".

We believe that the Holy Spirit empowers every believer to live a victorious Christian life. We value living in the awareness of the presence of the Holy Spirit in all areas of our lives.

We believe personal worship is essential to experiencing God's presence. We value directing people into intimate connectedness with God through prayer, praise and worship.

We believe God's written Word is the means of change in our lives. We value a simple presentation of Jesus Christ in creative ways to impact lives, and relate to our culture; while remaining true to the application of timeless truths.

Building Relationships

We believe love is the bottom line; thus we believe a gracious spirit should permeate the church and its activities. We value people over property. Our focus is on connecting people with each other and God.

We believe that we must accept people where they are, knowing that God loves them and is willing to help them with every means at His disposal. We value the discovery, development, and deployment of spiritual gifts.

We believe spiritual growth is a function of spiritual health; and we believe spiritual health is further nurtured by small group activities. We value a commitment to a lifestyle of consistent spiritual growth with relational accountability to become more Christlike.

We believe that the local church is God's primary design for effective ministry. We value a church that is led by people who possess leadership gifts, a servant's heart, a strategic team focus, and a passion to empower people. We see God promoting such persons into leadership positions who embrace Life's vision.

Changing Lives

We believe that people matter to God. Therefore, they matter to us. We value helping them find a relationship with God through Christ.

We believe that most effective evangelism happens through inspired and enthusiastic people. We value the opportunity to build bridges of relationship with those around us and encourage their pursuit of God.

We believe that obedience to the teachings of Christ is essential to become His disciples. We value striving for a lifestyle that pleases God by willfully avoiding things that make us spiritually unhealthy or give the appearance of being unfaithful to Christ.

We believe that excellence and quality honors God and motivates people. We value doing our best for God and embracing a growing spirit of excellence that permeates every area of ministry.
